Re: MBT's
There is always a lot of uncertainty of the outcome when major surgery is involved if for no other reason than every person is unique and that makes predicting an outcome nearly impossible. ( and toss in the skill of the individual surgeon to the equation)
You'll know if it worked if you can walk away and resume a "normal" life
ONE major medical event in 10 years changes attitudes...... THREE changes them even more.
I know for certain that what happened to me in January has more chance to go sideways at some point than my stroke in 2015 BUT I am doing some things far better now than I did after the stroke......... some things not so much but overall I think Yes there IS improvement, and my wife agrees,
The progress I have made in healing "to near normal" this time is leaps and bounds more than after the stroke BUT the two events are apples and oranges........different cause and because of that, what I'll be like by Christmas are totally unknown but from the perspective of my release from hospital mid March to now projected ahead three months , I feel that if I continue improving at the rate I have I *might* be back to "near normal"
Maybe.........
